Pros:

First three ingredients are named meat products

Cons:

Minimum acceptable meat content

The first three ingredients in this food are named meat products. The first and third of these are inclusive of water content (around 80%). Once this is removed as it must be to create a dehydrated product, the ingredients will weigh about 20% of their wet weight. As ingredients are listed in weight order, it is thus unlikely that these are truely the first and third ingredients in the food, but would be more accurately placed further down the ingredient list. The second ingredient, chicken meal, is most likely the true first ingredient in the food. There is a further meat meal ingredient 7th on the ingredient list, which may add to the overall meat content to a minorly significant extent given its likely true position 5th on the ingredient list. We note that this is a fish ingredient, but do not find any statement on the manufacturers website guaranteeing the use of ethoxyquin-free ingredients (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish ingredients and which is banned or heavily regulated in human food production, due to the belief that it is carcinogenic).

The fourth - sixth ingredients are grains. Rice, barley and oats are all decent quality grains and good carbohydrate sources, however this starts to look a slightly grain-heavy food.

The food does contain a range of fruits/vegetables and probiotics. We appreciate the inclusion of whole eggs.
